MOUNTPARK (POSSIBLY)

The Mountpark is a proper deep dive, sitting at 45m, so this is one for the technical crew or those comfortable with extended decompression. We love its intact bow, which still points defiantly upwards, giving a real sense of its final moments. Dropping onto the deck, you’ll find the steering quadrant remarkably preserved, often draped in dead man’s fingers that sway gently in the current. Our favourite time to dive here is on a slack tide, otherwise, you can get pulled along pretty quick. Visibility, as with most deeper wrecks in the Channel, can be a bit of a lottery, but even in murkier conditions, the sheer scale of the wreck emerges from the gloom, making for an atmospheric dive. Look for conger eels tucked into the darker recesses of the holds, and the usual suspects like bib and pollock patrol the superstructure. It's a proper British wreck dive, rugged and rewarding for those who make the effort.
